E-Mail: I was reading your
web page after i had finished watching the movie
"Fallen" and i was wondering if indeed it is
possible that the spirit of Azazel or Azazel himself in
a spirit like form does haunt the earth. i read
through your article and some others and it is
still not clear to me his position.
Response:
I am not an
expert on this thing. However, Peter wrote
- Be sober,
be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom
he may devour: 1 Pe.5:8
In the garden
of Eden he was disguised as a "serpent" which was some
upright beast. He is often pictured as a
composite animal with the "dragon" being common
in the Bible and in the Babylonian
remembrances. However, the
"serpent" in the garden is presented
allegorically in other passages of the Old
Testament as "the king of Tyre or Babylon." In
Jeremiah 31 Assyria as the "tallest tree in the
garden" which represents certain classes of
people. And Paul agreed by saying:
- For such
are false apostles (pretend preacher) ,
deceitful (decoys, bait) workers,
transforming (disguising) themselves into the
apostles of Christ. 2
Cor. 11:13 (foundation layers)
-
- And no
marvel; for Satan himself is transformed
into an angel of light. 2 Cor.
11:14
-
- Therefore
it is no great thing if his
ministers also be
transformed as the
ministers of righteousness; whose end
shall be according to their works. 2
Cor. 11:15
It seems
logical to me that while Satan is restrained his
"ministers" are not. Therefore, he uses his own
agent ministers as "decoys" and where better
to drop in his "bait" than in the church. Paul often
contrasted his honest ministry to the "many" who
were not honest; they were robbers. This may
mean that the majority are always teaching error
but calling it "gospel." It is not logical that
Satan would send his agents into the sink holes
of society: he isn't stupid but the "brightest"
creature ever created. He is "Lucifer"
identified as the king of Babylon, the king of
Trye and the end-time Babylonian whore and they
all used and will use music as the most
"charismatic" weapon.
However, John
gave a test to "weed out" the false prophets or
apostles:
And he that
keepeth
his commandments dwelleth in him,
and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth
in us, by the Spirit which he hath
given us. 1 John 3:24
In Isaiah 11
all of the seven "spirits" which would rest on
Jesus were spirits of knowing. Therefore, the
spirit informs us and these people
"knew" because they had been taught by an evangelist.
Our spirit
understands God's Spirit (the Mind of Christ}
because He has given His Spirit in His Words
(John 6:63). When we hear and obey His
commandments then our actions are our proofs.
Our spirit knows that God's Spirit sent the
evangelists into all the world. Paul was so
"gospel directed" that he was not to remain even
to count those baptized.
Satan and
his ministers have gone out into the world.
The first test
of an apostle or prophet is "whether he has gone out into the
world." If he has not gone then he is defacto not an evangelist any
more than one can be a located traveling
salesman.
- BELOVED,
believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are
of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1 John 4:1
-
- BUT there
were false prophets also among the
people, even as there shall be false teachers
among you, who privily shall bring in damnable
heresies, even denying the Lord that bought
them, and bring upon themselves swift
destruction. 2 Peter 2:1
-
- pseudo-prophêtês , [p. 2021] ou, ho,
false, lying prophet, J.AJ9.6.6, al., 2
Ep.Pet.2.1, Ph.2.343, etc. Sophists.
-
- Josephus
(9:(6)[132] After these, there met him a
good and a righteous man, whose name was
Jehonadab, and who had been his friend of old.
He saluted Jehu, and began to commend him,
because he had done every thing according to
the will of God, in extirpating the house of
Ahab. So Jehu desired him to come up into his
chariot, and make his entry with him into
Samaria; and told him that he would not spare
one wicked man, but would punish the false prophets, and false priests, and those that
deceived the multitude, and persuaded them
to leave the worship of God Almighty, and to
worship foreign gods; and that it was a most
excellent and most pleasing sight to a good
and a righteous man to see the wicked
punished.
-
- In
the case of these "prophets" the primary
method of inducing a state of virtual
insanity was instrumental music and the
whirling dance performed by David. The
sign of God's approval that you made
yourself so vile with the "servant
girls" that God could believe that you
were subordinate.

- Herodotus 4 LXVII. There are many
diviners among the Scythians, who divine by
means of many wi!low wands as I will show.
They bring great bundles of wands, which they
lay on the ground and unfasten, and utter
their divinations as they lay the rods down
one by one; and while still speaking, they
gather up the rods once more and place them
together again; [2] this manner of divination
is hereditary among them. The Enarees, who are
hermaphrodites, say that Aphrodite gave them
the art of divination, which they practise by
means of lime-tree bark. They cut this bark
into three portions, and prophesy while they
braid and unbraid these in their fingers.
-
- If the
diviners are found false:
-
- Herodotus
4:LXIX. And this is how they die.
Men yoke oxen to a wagon laden with sticks and
tie the diviners up in these, fettering their
legs and binding their hands behind them and
gagging them; then they set fire to the sticks
and drive the oxen away, stampeding them. [2]
Often the oxen are burnt to death with the
diviners, and often the yoke-pole of their
wagon is burnt through and the oxen escape
with a scorching. They burn their diviners for
other reasons, too, in the way described,
calling them false prophets. [3] When the king
puts them to death, he does not leave the sons
alive either, but kills all the males of the
family; the females he does not harm.
The Didache, or the Doctrine
of the Twelve Apostles, was an early document
believed to have originated in Syria. It was written
between 65 and 80 AD. The Didache warns about the
false apostles or spirits and gives some
absolute tests and laws:
Didache 11:1 Whosoever, therefore, shall come and
teach you all these things aforesaid, him do ye receive;
Didache 11:2
but if the teacher himself turn and teach another doctrine with a view to subvert you, hearken not
to him;
- but if he
come to add to your righteousness,
- and the knowledge of
the Lord,
- receive
him as the Lord.
Didache 11:3
But concerning the apostles and prophets, thus
do ye according to the doctrine of the Gospel. (The gospel
includes the imperative to go)
Didache 11:4
Let every apostle who cometh unto
you be received as the Lord.
- Didache
11:5--- He will remain one day, and if it be
necessary, a second; but if he
remain three days, he is a false prophet.
-
- Didache
11:6 --- And let the apostle when departing
take nothing but bread until he arrive
at his resting-place; but if he ask for
money, he is a false prophet.
Didache 11:7
And ye shall not tempt or dispute with any
prophet who speaketh in the spirit; for every sin
shall be forgiven, but this sin shall not be
forgiven.
- Didache
11:8 But not every one who speaketh
in the spirit is a prophet, but he is so
who hath the disposition of the Lord;
-
- by
their dispositions they
therefore shall be known, the false
prophet and the prophet.
-
- Didache
11:9 And every prophet who ordereth in the
spirit that a table shall be laid, shall not eat
of it himself, but if he do
otherwise, he is a false prophet;
Confessing
Jesus:
John continues
his test which is part of the "gospel."
Hereby know ye the Spirit of
God:
- Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come
in the flesh is of God: 1 John 4:2
This is not a
test for the believers but for the "many" who
are "gone out" into the world.
If the evangelist is not going out into the
world then he is less powerful than the agents
of Satan. Because the context is "going out"
confessing Christ as come in the flesh means
"preaching the gospel." If he has not gone then
he is not confessing the gospel where Christ
"assigned" him.
And if he is
preaching "chicken soup" rather than Jesus he is a false
spirit:
- And every
spirit that confesseth not that Jesus
Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:
and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have
heard that it should come; and even now
already is it in the world. 1 John 4:3
Nothing
happened after John wrote to indicate that
Azazel and his agents have retired from the
"world" as the battle scene assigned to the
evangelists.
Remember again
that to be an honest evangelist he "will have
gone out" to preach the basics of the gospel:
Christ and Him crucified and all that it means.
If he comes to you and preaches human phylosophy
or uses the latest book as "proof text" and if
he is transformed from a "threshing oxen"
into a permanent fixture in your feed barn then
he is not confessing Jesus. And if he is
attractive to all and highly popular than he may
be one of Azazel's little "flashlights."
- Ye are of
God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in
you, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4
-
- They
are of the world:
therefore speak they of the world,
-
- and
the world heareth
them. 1 John4:5
-
- We are
of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is
not of God heareth not
us.
-
- Hereby
know we the spirit of truth, and the
spirit of error. 1 John 4:6
The test of
being spiritual is whether you love the false
teaching or can pick them out and pluck them
out. One of the tests of the false apostle or
evangelist is that they are "planets" or roving stars:
- Plane (g4106)
plan'-ay; fem. of 4108 (as abstr.); obj.
fraudulence; subj. a straying from orthodoxy
or piety: - deceit, to deceive, delusion,
error
-
- Planos (g4108)
plan'-os; of uncert. affin.; roving (as a tramp), i.e. (by
impl.) an impostor or misleader: - deceiver,
seducing.
-
- NOW the
Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter
times some shall depart from
the faith, giving heed to seducing
spirits, and doctrines of devils (demons
or ghosts); 1Ti.4:1
Many people
have made the Holy Spirit into a ghoast or
geist. The view that He comes to select people
to "distribute fortunes" makes the doctrine of
demons possible:
- Daimon (g1142)
dah'ee-mown; (to distribute fortunes); a doemon or
supernatural spirit (of a bad
nature): - devil
-
- And I saw
three unclean spirits like frogs come out of
the mouth of the dragon (facinating animal), and out
of the mouth of the beast, and out of the
mouth of the false prophet. Revelation 16:13
-
- For
they are the spirits of devils, working
miracles, which go forth unto the kings of
the earth and of the whole world,
to gather (assemble) them to the
battle (polemic battle) of that great day
of God Almighty. Revelation 16:14
The
deceiver is like a serpent or dragon because
he must be able to "Capture people's
attention."
Facinate "bewitch, hold
the attention, delightful, charming."
Charisma "beauty,
grace, talent, divinely inspired. Captures
the imagination."
Jude supplies
more tests for the ministers of Azazel who taught Genun
(Jubal) how to make musical instruments and
organize mixed-sex choirs to seduce the
righteous people down into the dark valleys of
Cain. Gainsaying is from the Greek
antilogia meaning to
dispute, disobey, contradict, create strife.
They are evangelists whose mission is to dispute
God's Word:
- Woe unto
them for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error
of Balaam for reward, and perished in
the gainsaying of Core. Jude
1:11
-
- These
are spots in your feasts of
charity, when they feast with
you, feeding themselves
without fear: clouds they
are without water, carried
about of winds; trees whose fruit
withereth, without
fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the
roots; Jude 1:12
-
- Raging
waves of the sea, foaming out their
own shame; wandering stars, to whom is
reserved the blackness of darkness for
ever. Jude 1:13
-
- And Enoch also, the
seventh from Adam, prophesied of these,
saying, Behold, the Lord cometh
with ten thousands of his saints, Jude 1:14
-
- To
execute judgment upon all, and to
convince all that are ungodly among
them of all their ungodly deeds which
they have ungodly committed, and of
all their hard
speeches which
ungodly sinners have spoken against
him. Jude 1:15
The
Book of Enoch has the full story:
Enoch
Chapter 2
- 1 Behold,
he comes with ten thousands of his saints,
to execute judgment upon them, and destroy the
wicked, and reprove all the carnal for everything
which the sinful and ungodly have done, and
committed against him.
Enoch
Chapter 3
1 All who
are in the heavens know what is transacted there.
- 2 They know that the heavenly
luminaries change not their paths; that each rises
and sets regularly, every one at
its proper period, without
transgressing the commands, which they have
received. The behold the earth, and
understand what is there transacted, from the
beginning to the end of it.
-
- 3 They see that every work
of God is invariable in the period of its
appearance. They behold summer and winter: perceiving that the whole
earth is full of water; and that the cloud, the dew, and the rain refresh it.
In Chapter
Seven:
- 3 Then
their leader Samyaza said to them; I
fear that you may perhaps be indisposed to the
performance of this enterprise;
-
- 4 And that
I
alone shall suffer for so grievous
a crime.
-
- 5 But they
answered him and said; We all swear;
-
- 6 And bind ourselves by
mutual execrations, that we will not
change our intention, but execute our
projected undertaking.
-
- 7 Then they
swore all together, and all bound
themselves by mutual execrations. Their
whole number was two hundred, who descended
upon Ardis, (4) which is
the top of mount Armon.
-
- (Note
4) Upon Ardis. Or, "in the
days of Jared" (R.H.
Charles, ed. and trans., The Book of
Enoch [Oxford: Clarendon Press,
1893], p. 63).
-
- 8 That
mountain therefore was called Armon, because they
had sworn upon it, (5) and bound themselves by
mutual execrations.
-
- (Note
5) Mt. Armon, or Mt. Hermon, derives its
name from the Hebrew word herem, a curse
(Charles, p. 63).
-
- Mount
Hermon is the traditional battle ground
between the Jaredites being seduced by the
musical Cainites down in the valley. See the
following link to Adam and Eve.
Enoch
Chapter 8
1 Moreover Azazyel taught men to make
swords, knives, shields,
breastplates, the fabrication of mirrors, and
the workmanship of bracelets and ornaments, the use of paint, the beautifying
of the eyebrows, the use of stones of every
valuable and select kind, and all sorts of dyes,
so that the world became altered.
See Adam and Eve Two
- 1 AFTER Cain had gone down
to the land of
dark soil, and
his children had multiplied therein, there was
one of them,
-
- whose name was Genun, son of Lamech the blind who
slew Cain.
- 2 But as to this Genun, Satan came into him in his childhood;
-
- and he made sundry trumpets and horns, and string instruments, cymbals and psalteries, and lyres and harps, and flutes; and he played on them at
all times and at every hour.
-
- [The horns in Hebrew
were the yobels or Jubals from which Jubilee gets its
meaning. Genun plays the part of Jubal.
The trumpet and the idea of "triumphing
over" people with panic noise go
together.]
3 And when he played on them,
- Satan came into them, so that from among
them were heard beautiful and sweet sounds, that ravished the heart.
